      Nice benefits, layered management is cumbersome/out of touch

      Pros

      Great co-workers, a lot of 30+ year folks. Great benefits, located in nice area.

      Cons

      Too many chiefs, not enough Indians. Executive level not steering the ship very well, put way too much time and money into a single project, didn't see the bigger picture. Sold all land that company used to own locally...zero room to grow, can't even find parking. Lay-offs poorly executed (embarrassingly had to recall people that it laid off).

      Out of their element

      Pros

      Company did not bother satellite locations, and tried to work with employees to share expertise through out the firm.

      Cons

      Unprepared when taking over new intelligence based contract. Depended upon work force from previous firms contract transitioning over to continue working under Textron. Made offers to new employees but with significant pay cuts, reduced benefits such as leave and sick time. Annual increases minimal, and did not get back to my pre pay cut salary by the time I retired after Textron lost the two year contract. Biggest insult was Textron manipulating retirement plan, putting retirees at risk by forcing a total liquidation of all 401k assets and transferring to an IRA in order to begin taking distributions. Even stocks held in Brokerage account must be sold and transferred to IRA, creating potential for significant loss when buying back into the same stocks. I would not recommend this firm if you have any concerns for how you will control your retirement assets after leaving.
